BENCHMARK BIBLE CHURCH
Learn more about Student Ministry
Our staff of leaders, interns, and parent volunteers seeks to provide a safe and welcoming place where students can learn how the good news of Jesus Christ applies to all areas of life: worship, relationships, service, outreach, and fun! Wednesday evenings serve as the hub for student ministries; we come together weekly for a time of focused study and worship, as well as games (and sometimes pure craziness)—all for the glory of God and the building up of His church. Special events and mission trips provide an additional dimension of growth as relationships are strengthened and students are stretched beyond their comfort zones in an atmosphere of caring support.
“Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives because you had become very dear to us.” – 1 Thessalonians 2:8
Student Ministry Director
Andy Castillo
Andy Castillo and his wife, Isabel, are proud Denton locals who share a deep love for their community. Though Isabel was born in Michoacán, Mexico, both were raised in Denton, graduated from Denton public schools, and have a heart for serving the city they call home.
The Lord has shaped Andy through a variety of experiences and seasons of preparation. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Missions with a minor in Biblical Counseling from Mission University in Springfield, Missouri. Andy and Isabel met as teenagers in their church youth group, where a friendship grew into an eight-year relationship, and they were married in August 2025.
Andy enjoys staying active through bodybuilding, lifting, and pretty much any sport or activity. He also values time spent studying Scripture and theology. Isabel (the more talented and gifted half) owns a crochet business creating handmade plushies and amigurumi, loves theater and musical performance, and has faithfully served on worship teams for many years. Together, they are excited to follow the Lord’s leading and be part of what God is doing through Benchmark.
